So I download a lot of icons from www.flaticon.com. Some of them are black icons and others have multiple colors. I've found that when I import a colored icon png file everything is normal within SnagIt, however when I download and import black .png icon files I am unable to edit the image and also cannot export to a .png file. Its very odd. Here are two icons you can test it with actually...

First, I note this is in the Mac section, so I'm assuming this is happening on a Mac?
Second, is this aspect of "opening the image in Preview" something unique to the Mac version of SnagIt? I'm not sure I've ever heard of a function in SnagIt that allows opening an image in a kind of "Preview" mode.
Thanks... Rick :)

Sorry about the confusion! This is a mac issue, and preview isn't a Snagit function, it's a built-in application in macOS that allows you to view image/pdf files.

1 - Open the image in preview
2 - Duplicate the image
3 - Save as TIFF
I hope this helps!
